The moment the six or seven robbers in front of them flew off their horses, the robber cavalry collapsed, and those terrible crossbow arrows made them instantly think of what was going to happen, so they all turned their horses in panic...... It's a pity that the inferior horses under their crotches can only give them a little more capital to bully and bully ordinary people, and it does not give them any advantage in escaping, but it is a fatal weakness - the road in the center of the town is used to pave a dozen horses or barely enough, but if it is used to make a hasty U-turn, it is impossible to even half!

What's more, in an environment where arrows are constantly flying around?

And the thieves who had been rushing after the knight finally stopped...... They stared in amazement at the blood splashes raised by the fall of a dozen of their companions from their horses, as if they had no idea that the cavalry they had relied on as their trump cards would be exhausted in this way.

How so? How so?

Most of the attackers had this in their heads, as if they were still dreaming. But the qiē in front of you is unquestionable. Half of the personnel have been lost on their part.

And the closer distance and the scattered horses made them finally recognize the problem they were facing—more than thirty heavy crossbows, and the soldiers behind them who were smiling faintly, and the winch in the other party's hand creaked, like the sound of wild beasts grinding their teeth, and like a urging signal, so that the robbers finally realized the end of the situation......

"Don't mess up, don't mess up!"

The crow Baccarat roared, pulling the reins hard, but he couldn't stop the horses from jumping...... The muffled sound of arrows and shrill howls surrounded him, and the people around him who fell to the ground almost broke him......

It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this...... Didn't you say that it was just a town of less than a thousand people, didn't it mean that there were only seventy or eighty guards? You had thirty heavily armed cavalry! You had more than a hundred first-class men! Didn't you already send men to sneak in first, waiting for an opportunity to move? Even with a careful design, you broke open their city gates and rushed into the town!

Isn't it time to kill all sides next? Shouldn't it be a big victory? How can it be ......?

But no matter what, the reality is that I was trapped here by just 30 or so garrison soldiers, trapped in such a dead end!

There is nothing left to do about the situation. The bandit leader gritted his teeth fiercely! Burst out with a loud roar!

"Fight with them! Shield! Raise your shield and rush over, rush over and they will die!"

The roar propelled the thieves again...... Most of the robbers were outlaws, and after the initial fear, they had somewhat regained their composure, but this turn of events made them immediately become insane, and everyone began to move on—the rest was only a dozen feet wide, and they were almost close to each other's ...... Immediately, more than thirty robbers covered their heads and faces with their shields, and rushed forward with a roar. So the large force behind, less than twenty people, followed suit...... Although the pace is somewhat slower.

Or maybe man is sometimes such a strange animal that needs someone else to make a decision for him, even if it is a decision that leads him to the abyss......

It's just that the moment everyone was rushing forward, not many people noticed for a while that their crow boss was not involved in the charge.

The bandit leader had fallen behind the crowd - and when everyone rushed forward with their shields raised, they became less concerned about what was going on around them. At least not paying attention to the man on the horse beside him, a trick that Baccarat discovered in his early career as a mercenary.

Of course, someone will notice.

When Baccarat turned his horse's head with agility, he had already entered the light. Not far away, the long sword raised by the holy warrior was already pointed at the face of the bandit leader, staring at him coldly.

At this time. There wasn't a single standing bandit around him, and more than twenty of them had been knocked to the ground in such a short period of time! The strength of the paladins was not comparable to that of these country bandits, in fact, even ten baccarats could not fight against any of them!

But Baccarat still didn't care, and he choked and pulled out the long sword at his waist!

Raise your sword, spin it around, draw a symbol, and point flat.

The paladin's movement paused for a moment—even if it wasn't standard, the meaning of the opponent's action was extremely sacred.

One-on-one, a fair duel is required.

So after a slight hesitation, he also responded...... But then the young paladin let out an angry roar, for he noticed a smile on the bandit leader's face.

With a leap, the paladin drew an arc of light forward!

The long sword slashed, and the black whole body armor seemed to become an illusion in front of this shining long sword, and the blade swept through it effortlessly, cutting it in two!

A crack was delicately separated, and then the crack and the strong muscles and bones underneath were effortlessly separated, and eventually, black and red blood erupted from the crack, and then the tremendous pressure pushed it away......

The chaotic battlefield suddenly fell silent at this moment, and the bandits who were trying to charge in a messy manner stopped—they finally noticed that their leader was not among them, but when they turned back, they could only watch the black horse split in two in the light!

So, the pungent smell that filled the air finally destroyed their fighting spirit once again...... The leaders are already dead, so what is the value of desperate efforts? Dozens of militiamen armed with spears appeared from the corner of the street, and they had no choice but to throw away their knives and guns and squat on the ground with their heads in their hands.

So, so far, this farce has entered the end.

But apparently some people are not happy with this result.

"Damn bastard!

The aristocratic young man dressed in black pushed away a few soldiers in front of him, and let out a high-decibel shout angrily!"Lao Tzu is about to surround these bastards, can you use your little white face to steal the limelight, bastard! Damn it! Bastard! Brute! When the time comes, he will come back for me to make trouble, who will be responsible for arresting him?"

"Damn, give the horse to ...... This is the best Beauwu thoroughbred within a radius of hundreds of miles!" He roared and walked forward, through the crowd, and came to the reinforcement, his voice became louder and louder, almost roaring: "Lao Tzu was at least eight, no, ninety percent sure that he would have captured this crow alive! As a result, you guys are very comfortable in the limelight? What kind of duel are you meowing? Didn't you see that the armor was a high-level magic item before you jumped out? Tell me, how are you going to pay for the damn thing? Or are you going to ...... this body on you?"

The cursing stopped abruptly in the next moment. The long sword of the paladin has been pointed at the face of the young nobleman!

The shadow of the helmet obscured his expression, but it was evident that it could not contain his anger—even the most polite nobleman could hardly remain indifferent to the barrage of curses he had just given, and even more so the despicable means of escape of the bandit were almost like a joke to shame him

Now, that shame has also turned into anger, making it almost impossible for him to control himself.

For a while, the field was once again noticed, and even those who had been forced to retreat to the corner by the gun-wielding city guards who had appeared one after another, and had not yet been tied up, also held their breath for this strange scene.

"Battles are always full of surprises, and the mistakes of this 'high-level' paladin were only unintentional...... Please don't get too excited. Master James. ”

The awkward silence was broken by a young man known as Edward.

At some point, he appeared on the battlefield. He nodded slightly to the aristocratic youth, but the fingers of one hand pointed at the paladin's armor decorated with beautiful ivy patterns. On the left breast of the armor, a jewel-encrusted rune of the sun shimmered.

"You...... Sorry I'm so excited!"

The young nobleman opened his mouth, eventually giving a reluctant snort.

The name of the paladin is enough to silence the fiercest of evildoers...... Because their right to judge, the power to judge, is given by the gods, as long as he can prove that the other party is indeed an evil person, they can give a sentence, and the maximum sentence is the death penalty. And their way of judging is also backed by magic and gods - as long as they emit a dazzling red aura under the spell of 'Detect Evil', they can directly kill them without asking for any reason!

Although this method was widely criticized among the state's top bureaucrats and aristocrats, it was forbidden in the laws of Titania, the supremacy of earthly rights and the worship of the god of nature, the northern land of ice and snow, and even the free city-states in the south. However, the Western fiefs were still under the rule of Turamis, and in this ancient empire, the dependence of the aristocratic fiefdoms on the various churches forced the king to compromise with this.

Therefore, no matter how much dissatisfaction there is in his heart, there is no way for the young man to continue cursing - the lord of such a small area as Baiyang Town, in the Xifengyi region, is considered a local nobleman if he sounds good, but he is just a hillbilly, and a holy warrior with a jeweled emblem is definitely not inferior in the church of the sun god Lansendel.

If one is unlucky, maybe the one who will be unlucky in the end can only be him, a hillbilly.

"This gentleman, on behalf of Viscount James, apologises to you for your disrespect. ”

The boy known as Edward bent over the paladin, calming the embarrassment in the atmosphere a little.

But in the next sentence, he turned the topic to a condition that was difficult for the other party to accept: "It's just ...... Although His Excellency was a little excited, after all, it was your actions that had a substantial impact on his plan, so this time he was not able to complete the work, to be precise, you influenced the outcome of a military operation. Therefore...... I think you do need to compensate His Excellency the Viscount for his losses. ”

"He didn't suffer anything at all!"

"No, no, no, in fact, a lot is lost. ”

Facing the cold snort of the holy warrior, the young man spoke slowly, with undoubted certainty: "As far as we know, this group of bandits who call themselves the Crow Mercenary Group has a large scale, and this time they did not come out of the nest. A group of members led by the caster were left as backups. Therefore, without capturing its leader, we must organize another raid. And according to His Majesty's determination to carry out justice, I think the best compensation for you is to make a contribution in the next clean-up operation as compensation...... Based on the idea of justice, I guess you won't object. ”

"There's no problem with that. ”

Obviously, his calm attitude and methodical words were quite convincing—after a moment's hesitation, the paladin choked his sword back into its scabbard: "I can help you, and if it's not too far, I can wipe out the remnants alone." ”

"Alas, your Excellency, you have hit the nail on the head—since we have not received much detail, the approximate location of their remnants will be...... Well, there are probably at least seven of them, each located at a distance of sixty to one hundred and ten miles from Poplar Town, but it may be a little scattered, so it will take about seven or eight days to clear it. ”

"How's that going to work! We're going to be ...... soon Anyway, there's not that much time, not to mention just a bunch of rogue ......."

There was an immediate increase in anger in the samurai's voice, but this time the young man seemed to be completely unconcerned about this, and interrupted him with a raised hand. "It is precisely because they are a bunch of rogues, esteemed paladins," he said, "you probably don't know that such a creature is very damaging to the local area, and in this season of farming, as a local lord, the baron does not have much energy to deal with their harassment, so we will take the risk of using this once and for all...... It's just that this time they didn't achieve the expected purpose of the battle, and now that they have fled, even if they catch up, they can't ensure that they will be annihilated, and as long as they stay a little, they may be able to regain their lives. ”

"Therefore, if we want to remedy it, we can only use a relatively safe way to completely remove every possible place where they may settle. Originally, we didn't think it was because of a lack of strength, but now with your help, I don't think it's a problem. The corners of the boy's mouth were slightly raised, although he was still full of smiles, but for some reason it made people feel a difference.

Cunning, cunning, or treacherous?

The paladin frowned in the shadow of the helmet: "I have already said that I don't have much time right now, because I ...... A special mission is now underway. ”

"That's right...... Our honorable Paladin His Excellency raised that he had no time to spare. That's not going to be easy. ”

The young man seemed a little lost, but soon he suddenly slapped his head: "Ah, there is a compromise." Because of its proximity to the Whispering Forest, there is still some spare mercenary activity in the town - their strength certainly can't be compared to that of a figure like yours, but they must be enough to deal with the bandits. Just ......"

"What?"

"In fact, we have expressed similar intentions to them before, but you also know that they are not like you, they will not serve the villagers because of the call of justice, and the number of people needed must be recruited with a commission of at least two hundred gold coins, this ......"

At this point, there doesn't seem to be anything that needs to be explained.

"Here's twenty platinum coins! enough to cover your so-called expenses......

"Thank you for your generosity. In this way, presumably the safety of the surrounding Cheng dù will be able to be raised to a higher level, which is really a gift from His Majesty Lansendel. ”

"Shut up, don't let me hear the name of the Father in your mouth......!

......

"It's getting more and more interesting. ”

In the window on the second floor of the hotel, the caster in the black robe took all the qiē into his eyes.

After a brief evaluation, she turned to walk towards the fence, pausing slightly for the staff in her hand, and a series of sudden cracks of metal made the entire space quiet again.

"I'm going to enter the Whispering Forest, and I'm going to need some people. After a short silence, the mage spoke: "No matter how many people there are, individually or in a team, give each person a deposit of fifty gold coins, and as long as they can reach the area I need, I will pay each one a thousand kingdom gold coins." ”

"Hiss......" There was silence, and only the faint sound of gasping sounded around...... Then in the next split second it turned into a terrible noise......

In fact, if an ordinary person proposes such a price, then the current noise is probably mainly sneering, heckling or swearing.

What is the concept of a Thousand Kingdoms of Gold?

Even for all the cave bears in front of them, it is indispensable to spend three or five months of busyness and more than a dozen trips to the forest to run in and out, and when they are lucky, they get money for selling their lives...... This is because the Whispering Forest can be regarded as the richest cave bear hunting ground in the entire kingdom, and if it is a place that is already full of mountains and bears, dozens or hundreds of people may not be able to get similar wealth.

It's just that it's a mage who speaks now. Then the situation is different.

The mages are undoubtedly the richest group in the entire continent, and it is not a problem to consume nearly 10,000 gold coins from an ordinary magic experiment, and a few thousand gold coins are naturally not a problem......

However, there are obviously not many people with hot brains...... Because of the abundance, the danger in the Forest of Whispers is also extraordinary, and the ability of this mage in front of him is not yet clear, but from the outside, it is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp - the most reasonable explanation for a good mage to pay for someone to hire someone on the premise of someone to follow is probably the lack of cannon fodder.

"Honorable Mage...... Uh, sir, if it's convenient, can you tell us a little bit about your destination? Of course, just a general idea. ”

A loud shout broke the silence in the tavern - like thunder, and it caused a buzzing echo that temporarily drew everyone's attention to the back door of the tavern.

The voice of the Cun zài is as striking as his voice.

He was striding into the lobby at the moment, and his small figure occupied the area of three or four people—partly because of the glittering heavy all-steel armor on his barrel-like body, and partly because this barrel-like creature carried a unique weapon in his hand...... It was a six-foot-long, egg-thin, spear-like iron shaft, but underneath it was a heavy axe blade!
